As per the research paper published in Nature in February this year, this feat was achieved through the use of melamine molecules as the monomer unit.

Japanese chemical maker Tosoh Corp said on Tuesday it is preparing to restart its No.3 vinyl chloride monomer plant in western Japan from Wednesday, marking the first restart of the unit since a ...

Chemical recycling is a newer method that breaks the polymer chains back down into their monomer units and then strings the units back together. The recycled plastic is as good as new.

But they incorporated into the reaction a second monomer unit—with exactly twice the molecular weight and the same carbon-hydrogen-oxygen ratio as the original monomer—to create a mixture of ...

TSCA defines a polymer to be a chemical substance in which greater than 50% of the molecules are composed of at least 3 monomer units plus at least one other monomer unit or other reactant; and ...

Materials maker Trinseo has begun the process of closing a styrene monomer plant in the Netherlands and acrylic sheet plants elsewhere in Europe.

One of these glues is a biomimetic polymer that is composed of styrene and vinyl catechol monomer units. As we have observed prior, the catechol units promote underwater adhesion, while the styrene ...

A new study provides an unprecedented look at how monomer sequence affects charge transport in precisely defined chain molecules.

Steve Harrington has been appointed president of the global styrene monomer business unit effective Feb. 1. He is currently head of Styrolution's styrene monomer business in the Americas.
